 Carole Frances Lung''' She is a fashion fiber and materials professor at California state university los angeles and executive director at antenna works. she activates and promotes the Institute of labor generosity workers and Uniforms (ILGWU). The ILGWU institute is based on the history of textile, apparel, and transportation labor rights that continue to labor and such low wages. Her goal in bringing awareness to this issue is to help people seek other alternatives to purchasing ready makes items that are manufactured under abusive conditions.

'''Early life and education' Carole Frances Lung was born in 1966 in san francisco but moved around a lot to new york, Chicago, Lancaster pa, Weimer Germany, and settled in long beach. Lung graduated from North Dakota state university in 1988 where she received a bachelor of science degree in textiles and clothing. After graduation, she pursued a career pathway as a fashion designer in new york city. This was the very first incident that sparked her interest in becoming a labor activist. She had taken on a job with a company called Roth International. Her job was to knock off fashion trends that were at a higher cost; she would draw these designs and the company would have these pieces done in China for a cheaper price. She could not fathom the idea of working years as others have before her with an unfair wage. She then decided to move back to California where she landed a job as a bridal gown designer and production manager for Janell Berte. At this time she was also working in education at the Huntington Beach art center. When the bridal company decided to move to Lancaster and Pennsylvania Lung followed. This was when she first discovered it was very much one women's pay, which meant there was no space for improved conditions for the workers such as (better pay, and benefits). These experiences early on in her life are what helped guide what her art pieces would stand for and what they derived from. Soon after that, she went on to make a performance piece called "One size fits all", that is where the persona Frau Fiber was created which would stand and be a textile worker activist. Fast forward to now, she currently holds a position as a professor in fashion fiber and materials at california state university los angeles. She is also part of a couple of organizations such as the Antenna Machine team.

'Career' Carole Frances Lung has 15 years of working in the garment industry and another 10 fighting for the human cost that comes with the garment industry. Her career revolves around fighting the fast fashion industry; she had even made a slogan that says "Shop to last, not fast". She uses her art pieces to discuss topics such as mass production, and consumption. Her pieces also highlight the value of thoroughly handmade clothing pieces. She has a studio that is referred to as Frau Fiber's headquarters; this studio is for labor generosity workers' uniforms. One of Lung's Projects is called the sewing rebellion which was made to break the mass production cycle of textiles and teaches viewers how to make and repair their own clothes. She was also involved in the making of Made in Haiti (2009-2012) which was a collaboration with the tailors from Haiti to help create a different plan for the mass production market. Such as Haiti she has traveled to many other different areas such as China, Germany, Africa, Ireland, etc. Traveling to these places helped her explore textiles and garment production in different areas. Lung has also created art under the persona "Frau Fiber" which is an east garment worker. She was born in Apolda Germany; she worked in a garment and machine knitting company up until the fall of the Berlin Wall. The reason Carole takes inspiration from her is that she knitted and sewed by hand against the machines. In her studio, she hosts events such as free sewing workshops and presents her alter ego pieces.
